Sharon, the RSS Activist - The last Victim of Marxist-Islamist Terrorism Nexus in Kerala.

Is Kerala posed as Second Kashmir in Southern India?

~ Upananda Brahmachari.

Hindus in Kerala are almost under siege in the Muslim majority districts of Malappuram and Kottayam and also in Christian majority district of Ernakulam. The Hindus of other three or four districts in Kerala are also in danger line. The Mallapuram district was carved out to create a Muslim majority district by the Communist government headed by E.M.S Namboodiripad on 16 June 1969.

This land of Kerala is famous for the birth place of Adi Shankarayara and bearing a strong legacy of Hindu tradition and culture. But for a long drawn strategy of the anti Hindu force in Kerala, the Hindus are now decreasing the numbers and powers in Kerala which is very alarming

In the last week, two disastrous incident happened in Kerala one at Perumbavoor in Ernakulam District

Slaughter of Pregnant cow near Sasatha Temple at Peumbavoor - A warning to Hindu society in Kerala

where a pregnant cow was slaughtered by three Muslim butchers under instigation of the Muslim perpetrators in front of a Hindu Sasatha Temple temple during Makara Villakku time in Sabarimala and one Hindu activist named Sharon (Mullassery area RSS Karyavaha) was brutally murdered on 19th January 2012 in Manaloor area of Thrissur District by anti Hindu force led by CPIM-Islamist perpetrators. All the times Hindus and their sentiments are vehemently attacked with dire consequences in Kerala by anti Hindu force having their roots in Arabia, gulf countries or in Vatican. However, as a retaliation of Sharon’s murder, the local CPIM offices was vandalized and set on fire on the next day on 20th January.

Dawn-to-dusk shutdown and rallies in Ernakulam district at Muvattupuzha, Kunnathunadu and Kothamangalam area marked vehement Hindu Protest against Cow Slaughter in front of Perumbavoor Temple.

In the last three years in Kerala, more than 100 of Hindu activists (most of them are RSS, Hindu Munnani or Hindu Aiyakavedi activists) were murdered by the Muslim, Christian or CPIM goons, over 2000 Hindu girls were snatched forever by Muslim Love Jehadis, hundreds of Hindu establishments and Hindu occupations were vacated by the anti-Hindu Muslim, Christian or Political force, many Hindu temples and Devaswom boards were forcefully undertaken through anti-Hindu legislation. Anti-Hindus secular policies of the pseudo secular government of Kerala, either led by the secular Congress party or Communist parties always harm the Hindus in Kerala. The elected “Secular” Government of Kerala tried to a legislative Bill in 2010 with a view to take over only Hindu temples, trusts, their asserts and related affairs including the revenue from Hindu devotees, their donations and endowments, and entrusted their ownership, management and control to specially constituted statutory bodies like Travancore Devaswom Board, Cochin Devaswom Board, Guruvayoor Temple Committee, etc. But that bill was somehow restrained by the Hindu organizations through a series of protests.

Politics in Kerala has always been controlled by either Left power led by CPIM or the Rights counterpart led by Congress in their term were obviously dependent upon the Kerala Congress (A Christian Political force) or the Muslim League to grab the power in Assembly. The vote bank policies never facilitated Hindu voters in recent past except in the case of Pallakad Municipality was captured in 2005. In the recent years the Muslim and Christian political groups are putting various pressures upon all the political parties in Kerala to fulfil their goal for a ethnic cleansing of Hindus in the furthest destination in the south India. Newly built ‘Kerala Religious Police” a Muslim fanatic wing, Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and the Islamic Sevak Sangh (ISS), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) floated by the Islamists of Kerala, all are very musch active Keralian Jehadi road maps or the reorganized National Democratic Front (NDF) have recently emerged as stronger alternatives to ISS and SIMI and have allegedly masterminded communal violence in recent years.

T J Joseph, a professor at the New Man College, Thodupuzha - a victim of the Islamists. His right palm was chopped off by fanatic Muslims for setting a controversial question paper for an examination.

Perumbavoor, where the Jihadi Islamic fanatics slaughtered a pregnant Cow in Temple site and the 
surrounding areas have witnessed a rise in Islamist operations recently. The place is just 25 km away from Muvattupuzha, where activists of Islamist organization Popular Front of India had cut off the right hand of a college professor on July 4, 2010.

In 1921, present day Malappuram district witnessed a devastating revolts and massacres known as the Moplah rebellions killing lacs of innocent Hindus overnight. Through the establishment of Mallapuram, all the then Hindu majority districts in Kerala was divided in two parts as the Kasaragod, Kannur, Wayanad and Kozhikode in the North were separated from the districts of Palakkad, Thrissur, Ernakulam , Idukki, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram in the southern part. And if the non Muslims in Ernakulam and Idukki get majority in any chance (high chance is there) the Kerala Hindus will be divided by three parts geographically. All these are happening under a certain plan by the anti – Hindu force in Kerala.

Demographic change in Kerala marks a disastrous destiny of Kerala Hindus.

Out of 14 districts of Kerala Hindus are minority in at least five districts as the non Hindu population is 
larger now than the Hindu population there. These districts are (i) Malappuram (ii) Wayanad (iii) Ernakulam (iv) Idukki and (v) Kottayam in which Muslims are singly majority in Mallapuram and Kottayam and Christians are singly majority in Ernakulam Districts as per projection reports available on the basis of Census Report 2001 (published) and the Census Report 2011 (un-published).

As per  Census Report 2001, the district-wise population of Hindus, Muslims and Christians is as follows: Kasaragod: 7,05,234 (Hindus), 4,13,063 (Muslims), 84,891 (Christians); Kannur: 14,80,748 (H), 6,65,648 (M), 2,61,090 (C); Kozhikode: 16,69,161 (H), 10,78,759 (M), 1,27,468 (C); Wayanad: 3,92,141 (H), 2,09,758 (M) 1,75,495 (C); Malappuram : 10,57,418 (H), 24,84,576 (M), 1,75,495 (C); Palakkad: 18,02,766 (H), 7,03,596 (M), 1,09,249 (C); Thrissur : 17,61,842 (H), 4,88,697 (M), 7,20,152 (C); Ernakulam: 14,44,994 (H), 4,51,764 (M), 12,04,471 (C); Idukki : 5,66,744 (H), 81,222 (M), 4,80,108 (C); Kottayam: 9,63,497 (H), 1,16,686 (M), 8,71,371 (C); Alappuzha: 14,57,188 (H), 2,08,042 (M), 4,41,643 (C); Pathanamthitta: 6,94,560 (H), 56,457 (M), 4,81,602 (C); Kollam : 16,85,044 (H), 4,74,071 (M), 4,23,745 (C) and Thiruvananthapuram: 22,02,112 (H), 4,31,512 (M) and 5,95,563 (C). In the red lined districts Hindus became minority now below the strength of Non-Muslim population there.

Following the path of Muslim dominated Mallapuram district, Kottayam also became a certain Hindu Minority District in Kerala.

As per the recent details published by Department of Economics and statistics, Kerala,  out of 19,53,646 population the so called minority Muslims counts for 9,88,057 while the Hindu population is only 9,63,497.

The current demographic trends in Kerala indicate that within the next five years Hindus will become a minority in the land of Sankaracharya (Kerala). As per recent census, Kerala population is: Hindus 56.20 per cent. Muslims 26.7 per cent and Christians 20.90 per cent. But the joint effort of the Muslims and Christians to end the Hindu majority and hold in Kerala to make a Kashimr or Nagaland in the certain parts of the state has been speeding up gradually since the declaration of Mallapuram as the first Muslim majority district in India in 1969. More over, the area wise increase of Muslims and Christians and the decrease of Hindus in Kerala in general is a dangerous threat to so called secular and democratic atmosphere in Kerala. Once Hindus become a minority, Hindu slaughter will begin like in Kashmir and Nagaland. Keralite Hindus cannot stop it in Kerala alone if the others Hindus in every Indian state do not retaliate and restrict the Jihad and Evangelization in Kerala just now. Yes, now or never.  We should support the Hindu cause in Kerala.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22 — For Tamil schools to improve, educators need to work on a “blueprint” for the entire system, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today.

“I propose Tamil school educators to organise a seminar and produce a ‘blueprint’ that will be used to develop Tamil schools in the country,” the prime minister said in a speech after meeting with the community today.

He said such an overhaul was necessary for Tamil schools to be more forward and provide competitive and excellent education.

Najib (picture) also announced his government has agreed and will build six new Tamil schools, as requested by the community.

Six locations nationwide have been earmarked for construction. They are Taman Keladi in Sungai Petani, Kedah; Heawood Estate in Sungai Siput, Perak; Bandar Seri Alam in Masai, Johor; with the rest concentrated in Taman PJS1, Petaling Jaya; Bandar Mahkota in Cheras; and Taman Sentosa, Klang.

Najib also announced that his government has approved a budget of RM3.5 million for SJK (T) in Pakatan Rakyat-held Puchong.

KLANG: A rowdy mob gatecrashed a ceramah organised by Anything But Umno (ABU)/Hindraf in Jalan Kebun here, causing serious injury to at least one person earlier tonight.

 

Organisers told FMT that one of the volunteers at the ceramah was badly assaulted and had to be
rushed to the hospital.

The incident happened at about 9.15pm when the ceramah was about to start.

About 30 attackers, waving sticks and helmets, rode their motorcycles into the ceramah venue – a hall – and rammed into participants and chairs.

Others had followed on foot and had allegedly ’caused havoc’ by tossing chairs, throwing away ABU brochures, and hurling insults at participants, demanding for them to leave.
Organiser and ceramah participants believe the attackers were linked to Umno.

“I believe they were Umno people. They had the BN and Umno flags, and were wearing Umno t-shirts,” said one participant who alerted FMT of the incident.

“There was some arguments and one boy was badly beaten by the unruly youths using helmets,” said Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) executive director E Nalini who was there to observe the ceramah.

She said the group left the venue when a couple of police patrol cars arrived. She added that the group however loitered outside the hall, shouting slogans and ignoring the policemen.

The speakers of the disrupted ceramah were supposed to be lawyer-activist Haris Ibrahim, PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu, PKR leader Badrul Hisham Shahrin and Hindraf national coordinator W Sambulingam.

Mohamad Sabu said he was on stage when the incident happened.
“They can’t do this, if they disagreed with us or our programmes, they can complain to police, not attack people. This is very bad image for democracy,” he said.

Hurling racial abuses
Meanwhile, another ceramah participant told FMT that the incident had gotten racial at one point when one of the ‘uninvited guests’ hurled racial abuses shouted at the participants, many who were Indians.

“One of them called us ‘keling’ while others proceeded to taunt the Indians present and shouted at the Malays there ‘you orang tak kenal hutang budi‘ (you unappreciative lot),” said legal executive M Yuktesvaran.

The organisers meanwhile said they were calling off the ceramah tonight, and will be resheduled to a venue in Seremban on Jan 28.

It is also learnt that they will be lodging a police report soon.

Police: Villagers were angry

Meanwhile Selangor police chief Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah brushed off claims of any attacks at the ceramah tonight.

“No such incident though there was some dissatisfaction by the residents about the activity,” he told FMT.

“No damages or injuries to people as alleged…no riots occurred,” he said, adding that Hindraf supporters were present at the venue.

However Shah Alam OCPD Zahedi Ayob confirmed there was “shouting and pushing” at the ceramah but everything calmed down after the arrival of the police.

He said that the tension was caused by the anti-Umno ceramah in a Malay area. He added that the Malay residents got angry with the ceramah, especially with a banner which called for the end of the Umno/BN “regime”.

“The villagers were also angry with the 20-odd Malays who had attended the ceramah…the kampung people came out to protest against the presence of the Malays in the Hindraf organised ceramah,” he told FMT when contacted.

He said the face-off between the villagers and the ceramah organisers caused a confrontation and “they were shouting and pushing in the dewan”.

He said that the ceramah, attended by about 70 people, was cancelled and so far the police had not received any reports of anyone being injured.


“I’ll like to say that we managed to avoid the incident from becoming worse apart from shouting and pushing. There is no such thing as people being beaten with sticks.

“The act of holding the ceramah was provocative. How can you hold such a meeting in a predominantly Malay area? No permit was requested as well,” he said.

He also warned the public not to spread rumours of a racial tension in Jalan Kebun, adding that false messages were being spread through SMSes that a Malay stall had been set on fire.

“That is untrue. When the group was leaving, the police were already there. They managed to control the situation,” he added.

KUALA LUMPUR: Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) mendesak Umno bertanggungjawab terhadap insiden program Asal Bukan Umno (ABU) malam tadi di Jalan Kebun, Shah Alam.

NGO pimpinan Ketua PKR Rembau itu, Badrul Hisham Shaharim itu juga meminta polis bertindak secara profesional ke atas insiden tersebut.

Katanya, kejadian malam tadi membuktikan sikap sebenar Umno dan hipokrasi kempen 1Malaysia.

“Adakah orang India sudah tidak selamat berada di kawasan ramai penyokong Umno,?” katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.

Dalam kejadian semalam 20 pemuda menjerit kepada kaum India yang berada di dalam dewan tersebut.

Kata Chegu Bard, malah ada yang membawa masuk motorsikal ke dalam dewan.

Cedera dan rosak

“Mereka bersenjatakan topi keledar dan kayu terus memukul beberapa tetamu yang hadir. Peralatan P.A dan projektor juga ada dirosakkan.

“Beberapa orang cedera, namun mereka tidak mahu ke hospital kecuali seorang pemuda berbangsa India terpaksa dikejarkan ke hospital kerana hampir pengsan dipukul.

“Di luar dewan pula sebahagian dari kumpulan ini dengan senjata telah mengugut dengan menjerit kepada peniaga yang datang berniaga kerana program tersebut agar menutup perniagaan.

“Ada gerai yang menjual makanan ringan mengalami kerugian apabila gerainya disepak dan barang makanan yang dijualnya berterabur di tanah,” tambahnya.

Chegu Bard berkata, petugas dengan beberapa hadirin yang kebetulan yang baru datang berjaya menenangkan keadaan.

Katanya, kumpulan pemuda tersebut berundur ke seberang jalan mengadap dewan.

“Kira kira empat atau lima anggota polis datang, tetapi jumlah mereka bertambah ramai begitu juga penyokong dan hadirin yang ingin hadir bersama ceramah ABU. Keadaan mula tegang, polis dilihat tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa.

“Kira-kira jam 10.00 mlm penganjur memutuskan untuk menangguhkan program tersebut kerana bimbang soal keselamatan dan mengelakkan insiden tidak diingini berlaku,” katanya lagi.

Najib also says that his government is committed to the future growth of Tamil schools.

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak today announced that Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department G Palanivel has been appointed as the lead minister for the socio-economic development of the Indian community in the country.

The announcement on the appointment of Palanivel, who is also MIC president, was made by Najib at the Malaysia Tamil Schools Community’s annual gathering held at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (SJK) Tamil Kinrara here.

Najib said the community should build a vision centred on “nambikei” which is belief in Tamil to bring it forward.

“If we are guided by the principles and philosophy of ‘nambikei’ and if we have ‘nambikei’ among us, there is nothing that we cannot achieve and no problem that cannot be solved.

“I am hoping that this ‘nambikei’, which is a common platform in the Barisan Nasional (BN) leadership, will bring returns that we all can be proud of,” he said.

Najib added that the government was committed to the future growth of Tamil schools, thereby the future of the Indian community in the country and that from 2009 till last year, the government had allocated RM340 million for physical and infrastructure development for Tamil schools across the nation.

He said, in terms of management and administration, the government had invested about RM2 billion for Tamil schools since 2009.

“In the 2012 Budget, I had announced an additional allocation of RM100 million for upgrading Tamil schools and for their physical and infrastructure development.

“The expenditure list is being prepared and I hope the sum will be spent well so as to truly benefit the schools concerned,” he said.

Education development

He said the government was also cooperating on the matter on other funding groups like the “Community

Chest”, a welfare fund which contributed RM5 million to Tamil schools last year alone.

He said he hoped government-linked companies (GLCs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) would also contribute towards education development in the country including for Tamil schools.

“The government has also allocated RM3 million to Community Builders Foundation (CBF) whose chairman is the MIC president. Through this NGO, we have helped more than 4,000 Tamil school students throughout the country who were weak in their studies but today have overcome the problem because of the intervention of the CBF.

“I have also helped the Sri Murugan Centre to produce outstanding students,” he said, adding that as a result of the efforts, the performance of students at Tamil schools was on the uptrend, showing a 47 per cent increase in the number of students who scored 7As in the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination between 2009 and 2011.

He added that last year, the number of Tamil school students passing all subjects in the UPSR reached a new record at 53 per cent and was confident that the percentage would improve in the future.

Today is the first time the regime has chosen to use youths, some of whom look like they are in their teens, to threaten and harm their fellow citizens who are engaged in a legitimate expression of their right to free speech and assembly.

N. Ganesan, National Advisor Hindraf Makkal Sakthi

The inaugural HINDRAF and ABU forum planned at Dewan Orang Ramai MBSA, titled "Tamatkan Rejim UMNO/BN" was violently disrupted by a gang of youths on motorcycles.

The event started at 9.20 pm, and within minutes of the speakers taking their seats on stage, a group of Samseng Jalanan rode their motorcycles into the venue, with horns blaring in an attempt to disrupt the proceedings.

The crowd and the speakers on stage calmly ignored the disruption, which was a signal for the leader of the mat rempits to step off his motorcycle and escalate the situation by calling for any Malays in attendance to leave the hall immediately. Having succeeded in getting a few of the attendees to leave the hall, the mat rempits then began kicking and pushing over the publicity material and tables placed at the entrance to the hall.

This made some of the crowd restless, and prompted the mat rempit leader to ask the crowd to 'berambus'. Things took an ugly turn when another mat rempit then rode his motorcycle right into the seating area, making those seated there scramble for safety. The men in the crowd walked up to the mat rempits and asked them to leave, and the shoving began between the two groups. Things went spiraling out of control with blows being traded, and one of the attendees who found himself in a running fight with the mat rempits outside the hall was knocked senseless, and had to be rushed off to the hospital.

The organisers then decided to call off the forum, as it became apparent that the mat rempits were under orders to do anything and everything to stop the forum from going on.

The police arrived at the scene about 10 minutes after the mat rempits rode off.

This is a sign that HINDRAF and ABU are doing the right thing. HINDRAF Makkal Sakthi are no strangers to intimidation by the police and other uniformed personnel at indoor forums and events that they organise.

But today is the first time the regime has chosen to use youths, some of whom look like they are in their teens, to threaten and harm their fellow citizens who are engaged in a legitimate expression of their right to free speech and assembly.

Hindraf Makkal Sakthi will not be cowed by today's brazen attempt by UMNO/BN to intimidate those that have the courage to speak out against their regime. Hindraf Makkal Sakthi will continue to hold forums around the country together with ABU, and educate the citizens that the time for change is nigh.

1. Ever since the Europeans and this includes the Americans, lost to the Eastern countries in the manufactured goods markets, they have switched to the financial market. Through the many products they created in this market they seem to be able to grow and maintain their wealth and prosperity as shown by such indices as the GDP and Per Capita income.

2. But the business is spurious. The financial market is basically about gambling. Ever since America decided that the market should regulate itself, that there should be less Government, all kinds of unacceptable practices have been allowed. Short selling expanded from shares to commodities to currencies, Banks lend more money than they have and allowed highly leveraged borrowings by hedge funds and currency traders. They indulge in sub-prime loans, securing these imprudent lending by mortgaging and insurance.

3. In real business the costs in the European countries are unduly high because of high salaries and wages for workers’ pensions, bonuses, short working hours, long paid holidays, unemployment and other social benefits. The standard of living may be high but European products cannot compete with the products of the East in world markets.

4. The currency trading today, for example is said to be worth four trillion dollars a day, equal to the total productivity of Germany in one year. Whereas producing goods and services by Germany spins off all kinds of supporting and other businesses as well as millions of jobs, currency trading spins off no businesses nor create any real jobs. All the dealing involves only the entry of figures in bank books. The earnings are real enough and can contribute to GDP and Per Capita growth. But the picture of economic growth indicated by these indices is false as the wealth belongs to a very small percentage of the population.

5. The sums involved are however huge, running into hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars. When the bottom fell out, the losses are equally huge, sufficient to bankrupt even the biggest banks. Even countries can go bankrupt.

6. When you lose money, you become poor. Countries are the same. When they lose money or they borrow beyond their means and cannot pay, they become poor.

7. The problem is an unwillingness to admit that they, the Europeans, the Americans, the icons of the free market and economic prosperity are now poor. As a result all the manoeuvres so far are aimed at staying rich, at maintaining a lifestyle that is untenable.

8. The only real way out is to accept a lifestyle that is associated with lower incomes. But the people are demanding to live the rich life they were used to before. The austerity programs are rejected with demonstrations and strikes. And these simply aggravate the situation.

9. If wages and salaries as well as bonuses and other perks are lowered, then the production of goods and services by the workers would cost less. The goods will be able to compete again in the markets against those of the East. Real businesses would then be able to be resuscitated.

10. At the same time the financial market should be curbed. Operations out of tax havens should not be allowed and all accounts must be submitted to the authorities. Currencies should be pegged to a new independent trading currency based on a specific amount of gold or other precious metal. The fluctuation in value would be minimal, making doing business less uncertain.

11. With the lower cost of production there will be no necessity to outsource in Asia. The industries of Europe would be revived and contribute towards overcoming unemployment and early settlement of debts. Real wealth would be generated.

12. The Europeans also spend far too much on weapons. Research, development and upgrading swallow up huge amounts of money. As the weapons become more sophisticated the costs go up sky high. Where before a fighter plane would cost a million dollars, now they cost 50 to 100 million dollars.

13. Yet these weapons are quite useless in fighting the guerrilla wars they are likely to face. And they dare not have wars with countries with the same military capacities because it would be ruinous for everybody and would probably spell the end of the world.

14. Their military budget contributes to the wastage of funds as the likelihood is that the weapons would never be used for the purpose they are developed, certainly not on the scale they are being prepared for.

15. Everything points towards a new Bretton Woods. The world’s economy has become much more liked and integrated that a new set of monetary, financial and banking system needs to be negotiated and devised, taking into consideration the views and problems of the poor countries as well. There should be no thoughts about hegemony; military, political or economic.

Death in police custody – A Kugan (Taipan, USJ police station lock-up; 20 Jan 2009)

Three years ago on 20 Jan 2009, 22-year-old A Kugan reportedly died in the Taipan, USJ police station lock-up five days after he had been arrested.

The death occurred in highly suspicious circumstances that raise very alarming questions about the treatment of detainees in police custody and the methods of interrogation used.  Photographs and video footage of the deceased individual that were available in the public domain revealed what appeared to be shockingly severe, inexplicable injuries on his body, which appear to be consistent with physical restraint and torture. 

Despite the requirement that all custodial deaths be investigated by inquiries conducted pursuant to Chapter XXXII of the Criminal Procedure Code, it does not appear that an inquest has been conducted into A Kugan’s death.  

On 28 Jan 2011, the Sessions Court found police constable V Navindran not guilty of causing injuries to A Kugan during the latter’s detention. The decision was made without calling V Navindran to defend himself. However, this decision was overturned at the High Court on 20 Jan 2012, and V Navindran was ordered to enter his defence on two alternative charges of causing hurt to A Kugan.

Earlier, on 14 Jan 2012, N. Indra, the mother of A Kugan had filed a suit against the police and the government for more than RM100 million in damages over his death. She is seeking damages over misfeasance of public office, false imprisonment, negligence, assault and battery, and breach of statutory duties on the part of the defendants. In the suit, Deputy Inspector General of Police Dato’ Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, who was Selangor police chief at the time of the incident, is named as the first defendant, while the second defendant is police constable V Navindran. 

Every death in custody must be thoroughly and impartially investigated.  A Kugan’s death must not be relegated to a mere statistic.

 

Based on statistics disclosed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, 156 persons died in police custody from the year 2000 until February 2011.

We express our heartfelt condolences to A Kugan’s family and friends on this anniversary of his death.

"I am hoping that this 'nambikei', which is a common platform in the Barisan Nasional (BN) leadership, will bring returns that we all can be proud of," he said.

Najib added that the government was committed to the future growth of (SJK) Tamil schools, thereby the future of the Indian community in the country and that from 2009 till last year, the government had allocated RM340 million for physical and infrastructure development for Tamil schools across the nation.

He said, in terms of management and administration, the government had invested about RM2 billion for Tamil schools since 2009.

"In the 2012 Budget, I had announced an additional allocation of RM100 million for upgrading Tamil schools and for their physical and infrastructure development.

"The expenditure list is being prepared and I hope the sum will be spent well so as to truly benefit the schools concerned," he said.

He said the government was also cooperating on the matter on other funding groups like the "Community Chest", a welfare fund which contributed RM5 million to Tamil schools last year alone.

He said he hoped government-linked companies (GLCs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) would also contribute towards education development in the country including for Tamil schools.

"The government has also allocated RM3 million to Community Builders Foundation (CBF) whose chairman is the MIC preisdent. Through this NGO, we have helped more than 4,000 Tamil school students throughout the country who were weak in their studies but today have overcome the problem because of the intervention of the CBF.

"I have also helped the Sri Murugan Centre to produce outstanding students," he said, adding that as a result of the efforts, the performance of students at Tamil schools was on the uptrend, showing a 47 per cent increase in the number of students who scored 7As in the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination between 2009 and 2011.

He added that last year, the number of Tamil school students passing all subjects in the UPSR reached a new record at 53 per cent and was confident that the percentage would improve in the future.

Kenyataan Rasmi

22 Januari 2012

SAMM MENGUTUK SERANGAN GANAS BERSIFAT PERKAUMAN.

Asalkan Bukan Umno (ABU) ialah sentimen rakyat yang ingin melihat penyatuan perbagai 'force' dalam usaha menumbangkan Umno ke arah menyelamatkan negara. Ini penting kerana melihat kehancuran negara yang disebabkan Umno iaitu sebuah parti yang dicipta penjajah untuk mewarisi negara ini semakin tidak terbendung.

Sentimen ABU ini ialah sentimen rakyat namun baru - baru ini beberapa organisasi pertubuhan bukan kerajaan dengan kerjasama beberapa parti politik telah bergabung untuk memberi nafas baru kepada sentimen ini menjadi kempen kesedaran peringkat nasional. Pada 15 Disember lepas ABU telah dilancarkan di Taman Melewar, Gombak dengan menyaksikan pentas perasmian dikongsi oleh ahli politik, aktivis masyarakat, peniaga kecil, kontraktor, wakil orang asal, pekerja kilang dan wakil-wakil perbagai segmentasi masyarakat hadir menyampaikan ucapan.

Selepas itu program berteraskan ABU berterusan dalam perbagai pendekatan dalam skala kecil dan besar. Antaranya ialah pelancaran ABU Pulau Pinang pada 18 Januari 2012 di Permatang Damar Laut yang menyaksikan bukan sahaja lebih 1500 kehadiran dalam kawasan yang dikenali kubu Umno sebelum ini tetapi turut menyaksikan pengistiharan keluar beramai - ramai ahli Umno yang diketuai oleh bekas ketua cawangan Umno kawasan tersebut. Bukan itu sahaja pengedaran risalah ABU serta kemeja ABU mula menjadi trend anak muda.

Mungkin melihat kejayaan dan penerimaan makin meningkat maka Umno menjadi gusar.

Minggu lepas sekali lagi ABU menjadi perhatian apabila Hindraf secara rasmi menyatakan pendirian bersama dengan ABU. Hindraf berjanji akan bersama dengan sekutu - sekutu yang bersama sentimen ABU malah koordinator Kebangsaan hindraf w.Sambulinggam menyatakan hasrat ingin bersama PR bagi mengalahkan Umno/Bn dalam PRU akan datang.

Serentak dengan itu Hindraf mengusakan beberapa pentas program ABU di beberapa tempat.

Pada 21 Januari 2012 jam 9.00 mlm telah disusun program Ceramah Umum ABU yang menampilkan Hj. Mohd Sabu (Timbalan Presiden PAS), Peguam Haris Ibrahim (SABM), cheGuBard (SAMM) dan Sambulinggam (Hindraf) di Dewan MBSA seksyen 30, Jalan Kebun,Shah Alam.

Kira - kira 8.45 malam, orang ramai memasuki dewan, kebetulan dengan waktu Isya yang lewat maka kehadiran awal ialah majoriti bukan Islam. Kira - kira 9.00 mlm semua penceramah sampai dan mula duduk diatas pentas. Serentak dengan itu datang kira - kira 20 orang pemuda menjerit perbagai cacian dan makian yang dilihat secara sengaja ditujukan kepada hadirin India. Malah ada yang membawa masuk motorsikal ke dalam dewan. Mereka bersenjatakan topi keledar dan kayu terus memukul beberapa tetamu yang hadir. Peralatan P.A dan projektor juga ada dirosakkan. Beberapa orang cedera, namun mereka tidak mahu ke hospital kecuali seorang pemuda berbangsa India terpaksa dikejarkan ke hospital kerana hampir pengsan dipukul.

Di luar dewan pula sebahagian dari kumpulan ini dengan senjata telah mengugut dengan menjerit kepada peniaga yang datang berniaga kerana program tersebut agar menutup perniagaan. Ada gerai yang menjual makanan ringan mengalamai kerugian apabila gerainya disepak dan barang makanan yang dijualnya berterabur di tanah.

Petugas dengan beberapa hadirin yang kebutulan ada yang baru datang berjaya menenangkan keadaan. Kumpulan pemuda - pemuda tersebut berundur ke seberang jalan mengadap dewan. Ketika kira kira 4-5 orang ganggota polis datang, jumlahnya mereka bertambah ramai begitu juga penyokong dan hadirin yang ingin hadir bersama ceramah ABU. Keadaan mula tegang, polis dilihat tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa.

Kira - kira jam 10.00 mlm penganjur memutuskan untuk menangguhkan program tersebut kerana bimbang soal keselamatan dan mengelakkan insiden tidak diingini berlaku.

Jelas serangan tersebut ditujukan kepada hadirin bukan Melayu khususnya India, dalam taklimat sebelum bersurai cheGuBard meminta agar kawan - kawan Melayu agar dapat memastikan kawan-kawan berbangsa India dapat di iring ke kenderaan dan selamat keluar dari kawasan kerana di keliling dewan pemuda - pemuda ada yang bersenjata bertambah ramai menjerit jerit ugutan perkauman.

Ada orang tempatan yang mengenai penyerang tersebut dengan orang kuat Umno, malah dari pakaian (ada berlogo Umno), aksi dan jeritan mereka yang menghalau orang India keluar kerana ini kawasan Melayu kubu Umno jelas menunjukkan serangan tersebut harus dipertanggungjawabkan kepada Umno. Mereka sedang mencipta pergaduhan kaum, mujur yang hadir tenang dan bertindak bijak.

Kejadian malam tadi membuktikan sikap sebenar Umno dan hipokrasi kempen 1 Malaysia. Adakah orang India sudah tidak selamat berada dikawasan ramai penyokong Umno ? satu lagi paku telah diketuk untuk menyiapkan keranda Umno menjelang PRU akan datang.

Umno harus dipertanggungjawabkan dalam kejadian serangan fizikal, ganas dan bersifat perkauman ini. PDRM dituntut bertindak profesional gambar rakaman semua tersedia dan diserahkan bersama dengan laporan yang dibuat penganjur.

Kejadian ini sama sekali tidak melemahkan. Malah semua rakyat dijemput untuk hadir ke

Pelancaran ABU Negeri Sembilan

Check out this Free Malaysia Today video.

Now, you might not agree with Hindraf’s politics (and I have reservations about its political approach and some of its claims), but this kind of disruption is unacceptable.

From the video, it seems clear who the aggressors are.

There’s simply no excuse for this kind of loutish behaviour nor should it be allowed to creep into our political culture.
